Jamal Bryant, the high-profile pastor of Empowerment Temple in Baltimore, defended himself amid backlash from a recent sermon regarding the state of the black church and black family in which he used the word "hoes."

In the sermon, titled "I Am My Enemy's Worst Nightmare," Bryant quoted a popular Chris Brown song when he lashed out at women by saying, "these hoes ain't loyal."
